PL2303HX USB-UART Converter Cable 

 

This PL2303HX cables  are a family of USB to TTL serial UART converter cables incorporating  Prolific's 
PL2303HX  USB  to  Serial  UART  interface  IC  device  which  handles  all  the  USB signaling  and  protocols. 
Inside the big USB plug is a USB-Serial conversion chip and at the end of the 36" cable are four wire  - red 
power, black  ground, white RX into USB port, and green TX out of the USB port. The power pin provides 
the 5V@500mA direct from the USB port and the RX/TX pins are 3.3V level for interfacing with the most 
common  3.3V  logic  level  chipsets.

 

Thanks  to  its  separated  pins,  this  cable  is  a  perfect  candidate  for 

powering,  connecting,  and  accessing  the  login  and  debug  console  on  the  Raspberry  Pi,  ESP8266  WiFi 
module or other development board with serial Tx and Rx data I/O.
